Dannielle Bowman | Ep. 10
During this podcast we talk about two bodies of work from Bowman:
Here Now, in which she explores landscapes of historical significance in the U.S., monuments and artifacts found in museums and public spaces, all in an effort to investigate the histories of people left out of the grand historical narratives that we are more familiar
The other body of work that we talk about is, What Had Happened, Bowman returns to where she grew up (the Baldwin Hills, Inglewood, and Crenshaw neighborhoods of Los Angeles, CA), opening her own history to ask questions about the role location and landscape play in personal evolution. With a particular interest in Black Baby Boomers and The Great Migration, which refers to the movement or relocation of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North, Midwest and West from about 1916 to 1970
